Since all this is considered to be certain characters from ancient myths, in this regard, there are opinions that the bas is associated with the Slavic Gods. Others attributed the head of a lion with the head of the Bible which deals with the end of the world. Officials say that while decorating the sculptor suddenly fell ill, and immediately called the other. He handled the job very quickly and efficiently, and in light of the emergency circumstances no one bothered to see what is depicted in the sculptures. The master disappeared without a trace, and there is no data whatsoever.

Another horror story about the underground world - the legend of the Ghost train that once a month drives through the Roundabout. It stops at all underground stations, but the door opens very rarely. It is believed that if people are in the car, then nobody else will find. The train itself is an old design, the engineer in the form characteristic of the pre-war time, and some passengers also dressed in old gray clothes. It is believed that in this train are the souls of the dead during work on underground roads. They were brought the prisoners, so they do not stand on ceremony and was able to reset the mine and trap directly into the wall for the slightest offense.
